Condition reports are based on visual inspection by the Capsule team under typical office lighting. Unless otherwise noted, items are not examined under UV light in advance of sale. We do not guarantee the content of written or verbal condition reports. Remember, all lots are previously owned and all sales are final. The absence of a condition report does not imply that there are no condition issues with the lot.
Art has not been examined out of the frame unless otherwise stated. Frames, lampshades, or items described as “supplementary” are not considered integral to the value of the lot and are excluded from condition assessments. This includes any mat, mounting, glazing, hanging apparatus, case, box, or stand. Timepiece movements, lighting elements and items with mechanical or electrical components have not been thoroughly tested and are not covered under warranty by Capsule.
David Hockney is one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, celebrated for his contributions to Pop Art and his innovative approaches to painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and digital media. Known for his vibrant depictions of California swimming pools, portraits, and landscapes, Hockney has continually reinvented his practice, embracing new technologies from Polaroid collages to iPad drawings.
He studied at the Royal College of Art and received numerous awards including the Royal Photographic Society's Progress medal and the Lorenzo de' Medici Lifetime Career Award of the Florence Biennale, Italy. His work is represented in major museum collections worldwide, including the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Centre Pompidou.
